Many cyclists are familiar with Bioracer Speedwear clothing, as used by some professional riders, but the Belgian company has another wing of the business that uses motion capture and aerodynamic analysis for bike fits on pros and amateurs alike.
Bioracer Motion was created as a result of more than 10,000 individual bike fits and 30 years of bike fitting experience from company founder and CEO Raymond Vanstraelen. Despite his decades of experience, Vanstraelen was frustrated with his inability to back-up the bike fittings with objective data.

So, Vanstraelen decided to take the fittings to the next level, enlisting an experienced cycling doctor, a professional cycling coach, a former professional and a software engineer specialising in motion capture.
What Bioracer developed was a performance-focused bike fitting and aerodynamic analysis service that uses a wind tunnel, dynamic pedalling analysis and power measurement, among other things.
Stability and symmetry
As a starting point, Bioracer Motion gives you the report you would expect from a comprehensive bike fit, including seat height, saddle setback, reach, stack and more. But then like Retül or Shimano’s Bikefitting.com, Bioracer Motion uses wireless markers placed on each side of the body to record movement in the feet, ankles, legs, hips, shoulders, elbows and wrists.
